Crates - Jump into one of these to obtain one of Wile E.'s famous gadgets, such as Rocket Shoes, Spring Shoes, a Jackhammer, a Flying Suit, and an Umbrella.Road Runner - If you're able to catch him, he'll quickly run off-screen and leave behind six Stamps and a clock that will attract towards you.Boulders - If you find any with dynamite, press down on the wooden box to blow it high. Run underneath it or jump on top of it to explore new places, though it'll quickly fall back the way it came.

Road Runner

Press to "meep meep", to run, and to jump. Hold down to peck and eat bird seed.

Boosters - Hit one of these to quickly fly forward at incredibly fast speeds.Loops - Road Runner is fast enough to run around loops reminiscent of Sonic the Hedgehog.Wile E. Coyote - If you see a crate, watch out, as Wile E. will pop out and try to grab you. If he catches you, you'll pay with a large portion of health.

History

The game is developed by BlueSky Software, the company well known for making the Vectorman series. The player can play as either the Road Runner, who spends the game avoiding the Wile E.'s traps, or Wile E. Coyote, who spends the game attempting to catch the Road Runner.

The game was later released in North America as part of the Mega Hit Series.
